HAM(S) asks to contest 20 seats in Bihar Assembly election
On the day the ruling National Democratic Alliance in Bihar declared it was aiming to win 225 out of the total of 243 seats in the upcoming Bihar Assembly election, founder of the Hindustani Awam Morcha-Secular and Union Minister for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Jitan Ram Manjhi asked for 20 seats for his party to contest. “Though my party workers have claimed 40 seats, our party should get 20 seats from the NDA in the upcoming Assembly election, so that I can do whatever work I want to achieve in the government,” Mr. Manjhi said on Wednesday, addressing party workers and leaders at a meeting in Jehanabad. Mr. Manjhi also launched a sharp attack on the Opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal, and heaped praise on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the “double engine” government in the State under Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the country is continuously making progress and it will be ahead of all countries by 2047,” Mr. Manjhi said, adding, “Never before has development taken place in Bihar in the way it has in the last 20 years of Nitish Kumar’s regime.” “The way Tejashwi Yadav is looking at Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is the opposite of the way the people of Bihar are looking at him. In the first of a series of joint workers’ meetings in the run-up to the upcoming State Assembly elections, NDA leaders lauded the “double engine government” in Bihar.
